Hello Everyone, I am writing in hopes that everyone is doing well and things are looking up for you since the last time I posted which have been A few years ago well, I have not felt any better about my tummy tuck from Dr. Aldea. I still stand on every word that I said because it is the honest truth. I do not take any of it back because it is the honest truth. I have pictures to prove and my stomach has not improved I did lose a little weight but nothing has changed the appearance of the ugly scars that he made and the depressing moments and hurtful feelings that I have experienced with this botched tummy tuck. If there is anyone out here that can reach out to me and help me resolve my botched tummy tuck, please do so. I really want this fixed. It’s emotionally painful.

Does anyone know who had this happen to them.. Tummy tuck while they were pregnant? I was 3 weeks into pregnancy?? I feel that I should get my money back or be offered a revision. What do you think?

3 weeks pregnant means you were only one week late or so with your period (the first 2 weeks of a pregnancy begin when the sperm fertilize the egg which is right after ovulation). Even if you took a home pregnancy test, you probably did not have enough HCG in your urine to detect a pregnancy. I'm glad your daughter is ok despite acid reflux (my kids had this too).

Well none of my other kids had it so its new to me and she has stopped breathing during those episodes so its very scary. Thanks

You're not far from Georgia. Check out Dr. Song's reviews. He can probably help you when you consider revision work.

Did they perform a pregnancy test? All doctors are supposed to give a pregnancy test before surgery.

I don't know what all they performed. But I was under the impression that they did it all but I know after the surgery when I went to St . Francis hospital the collected my urine an still did not tell me I was pregnant any this was weeks after the surgery. I developed a seroma and they aspirated the fluid and everything had me taking IV dilaudid and antibiotics. .... oh well seems nobody caught it but one good hospital!

Omg. I was so paranoid about this happening to me that I took my own home pregnancy test! They performed one in the doctor's office as well, but I was concerned because I had gone off the pill on preparation for surgery. My doctor indicated that the pill contains estrogen that could lead to blood clots. So I was super cautious and nervous about becoming pregnant just before surgery. But thank God things worked out for you!.REALLY!!

Wow. Does that explain your results? Guess it couldn't be detected?

my experience witj dr.aldea was wonderful. I have skin that doesn't heal well,but his incicision healed better than my cesarean section . I do have plans to return for a breast lift. also I'm a smoker and Dr.aldea did a UA before my procedure to make sure I didn't have nicotine in my system. (nicotine inhibits healing) Lillie was always a lovely person to me.I've never had a problem with anyone or anything at Dr.always office

Did the surgery affect your pregnancy? Do you have a new baby?
September 30, 2014
Oh yes it did!! I was in a lot of pain from the stretching and my side hurt as well. My baby is here she has had breathing issues in the past from acid reflux and it looked as though she had bruises but most were mongolian spots. It was a horrible experience. ... I wonder can someone help me get on that show called botched???
